Hi,

I am not able to create Desktop shortcuts and Menu item in GNOME. I discovered that 
for both KDE and GNOME, its an accepted standard to have .desktop files to represent 
shortcuts. File contains group and name-value pairs like:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=
Type=
Comment=

I created few files for KDE and all of them worked fine. But on GNOME I am not able to 
run them.

My concern is to provide shortcuts to HTML files.
I tried to create file like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=MyLink
Type=Link
URL=file:/home/kshitij/myApp.html
Icon=/usr/share/icons/html.xpm
Terminal=false
MultipleArgs=false
Comment=Simple HTML File link

It simply doesn't work. The icon is created on Desktop but can't be executed. Although 
it works absolutely fine on KDE.
I can create Application links in GNOME i.e. 

Type=Application
Exec=<executable-name>

This works but Links do not work.

Can anybody help me?
